Hey folks, I've noticed an issue lately where my cut scenes don't load properly. Like it goes into the screen where two characters should be conversing, but no characters are there. I can skip to the end, but that means I obviously miss out on some cool dialogue. Any ideas?

Locate your desktop GW2 shortcut and right-click on it. Choose "Properties". In there is a "Target" line, which generally looks like:"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe"
but it can vary, for example mine is C:\Games\GW2\Gw2.exe without quotes. (The quotes are needed whenever the path name includes spaces as in "Program Files". Mine has no spaces so it has no quotes ("))

Simply edit the Target line to add -repair or -image at the end, outside of the quotes if there are any, so that it looks like:

"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -repair

After it's been run, remove the -repair or -image to use the shortcut normally. (Or make a copy of the shortcut.)

To make a desktop icon (if you don't have one), use Windows Explorer to locate your GW2 folder and right-click on gw2.exe. Then choose "Send TO" and "Desktop (Create shortcut)".
